Fundamental Transformation of Human Civilization 3620-FT-SP-OG

Through weekly discussions, real-time updates, and
comparative case studies, students will investigate how
globalization, AI, and post-Earth technologies are
redefining sovereignty, ethics, and human identity. The
curriculum is intentionally dynamic: readings, case
studies, and empirical examples will be updated each
week to reflect ongoing global developments, mirroring
the rapid tempo of civilizational change itself.
Special attention is given to how these accelerating
transformations affect Eastern and post-Soviet regions,
where questions of sovereignty, integration, and
geopolitical balance remain closely intertwined with the
evolving architecture of international law. This ultramodern course was designed by a scholar with
extensive international experience across three continents,
a former breaking-news journalist who covered major
global events—including the dramatic scenes at Ground
Zero on 9/11—and a high-ranking diplomat.

NOTE: Due to high demand, please enroll in only ONE course per semester conducted by Dr. Pawel Maciag. You are very welcome to choose the other courses—International Organizations or International Law: Eastern Perspective—in the following semesters.

All three courses are designed for students of all majors and various levels of English proficiency.

Their aim is to broaden intellectual horizons, cultivate curiosity, and address the unprecedented civilizational shifts occurring today.

The cutoff time for registration is the first class (with the possibility to enroll or disenroll in the following two weeks).
